How Can I Be Heard?, Luann Wilkerson

To Improve the Academy: A Journal of Educational Development

Today is the second day of five one-hour tutorials on The Case of the Fainting Soccer Player. The six first-year medical students have been struggling to explain the sequence of events experienced by the 17 year old woman in the case who collapses while playing soccer with subsequent ventricular fibrillation and coma. An older female student, Pat, had spoken little during the first 15 minutes of discussion as the group alternately considered the role of brain and heart in the patient's collapse. Finally, Pat quietly commented.

Breaking Barriers: Mentoring Junior Faculty Women For Professional Development And Retention, Marie A. Wunsch, Linda K. Johnsrud

To Improve the Academy: A Journal of Educational Development

This paper describes a successful two-year pilot program on mentoring new junior faculty women. The program emphasizes individual professional development and retention issues and includes colleague-pairing, mentor training, the use of a mentoring agreement, and a multi-leveled series of development workshops, seminars, and networking activities. The assessment and research component includes a needs assessment, pre-and postparticipation perception studies, assessment interviews, and a proposed longitudinal study of mentees from entrance to tenure.

The Return Of Bill Jasper, Kenneth J. Zahorski

To Improve the Academy: A Journal of Educational Development

As Bill Jasper left his office and walked down the hall toward his classroom, he found it hard to believe that only a few months earlier he had begun teaching his first class at University College. A wistful smile played at the comers of his mouth as he thought back to that enlightening, but somewhat unsettling, experience. "I was greener than a spring apple," he muttered. "I wish I had known then what I know now."

Honors Programs: Development, Review, And Revitalization, C. Grey Austin

National Collegiate Honors Council Monographs

This is a monograph on the development and review of honors programs. Both subjects are treated in a single handbook because the materials presented here are useful in each process. The section on principles and practices of honors education in the United States (the overview) is background for those who would plan an honors program; for those who are reviewing and evaluating an existing program, the overview provides the means for educating those whose experience with honors is limited to the honors program of a single institution.
